Artwork Works in Progress

I’ve been playing around with Blender for a while, doing various small models and getting used to the interface (especially since the change in 2.3x). I’ve been lurking on this site for quite a while and have been impressed by many of the submitted works.

Well I’ve finally started a WIP that is somewhat more involved than any of my previous works. I’m hoping posting this here will give me an excuse to make sure I keep working on it. So without further procrastinating, here is my current (Very much) WIP:

And for those of you curious, here’s a shot of my blender :wink:

I’ve long been a huge fan of aviation and planes, so after searching around I came up with a decent profile to work with (the background image in the lower left pane) and later came up with a front-on view of the aircraft.

Good start, only crit I have so far is add another vertice on the top part of the nose for a slight dip and added smooth.

From the camera angle I’m using right now, it’s a little hard to tell that it’s only the left half of the plane that is there, I think once I duplicate and mirror the nose should look a little better.

I know, the shot above could be better, but I was looking at wire from the link
